American Pilot Obliterates 5 Enemy Planes In 4 Minutes by The Fat Electrician - Reaction

[@SwiftieXinfinity]

52:05 it was definitely not how I thought his story would end but, the incredible tenacity and bravery of men such as he, are truly inspiring & we owe them all of our gratitude. 🥺💔😔😭🙏🇺🇸

[@dcohen1359]

I had no idea that ORD was named after this guy until I heard this story.

[@brigidtheirish]

Really? My dad *loves* bringing up the crazy Irishman who rushed a Japanese squadron *solo.*

[@launcesmechanist9578]

That’s what you call becoming an Ace In A Day. Ironically, there was an incident during the Battle of the Coral Sea that a Japanese pilot mistakenly landed on an American carrier. Once he realized the crew was speaking English, he gunned his throttle from the still idling engine and took off in a panic.

"His dad had become a Villain, so that Butch had the opportunity to become a Hero." -The Fat Electrician (KZbin) That line just hits so hard

[@Flash_Flood44]

Got me too!

[@vincentconnett5358]

I’m still waiting for old 666 lol

[@Rammstein0963.]

As much as I hate it, I think it WAS friendly fire, it was dark, the chaos of battle, it was a hairball (enemy and friends intermixed)...it would have only taken a simple accident, a bullet carelessly fired. Tragedy. That said, this guy was a badass, and he is rightly remembered as a hero.

[@noahadams7784]

The ending always hits me hard. This man had a family, he had fans, he had the men he fought with and who believed in his divine-like power, and yet in the heat of battle and in the climax of his life… he was taken from us. He flew too close to the sun and he was taken from us, however I can’t help but think that Butch wouldn’t have wanted to be anywhere else, doing anything else when he left this world. Thank you Butch, you were a true hero even if you didn’t believe yourself as so 🫡

U.S.S. Enterprise CV-6 "The Gray Ghost" is my favorite warship of all time.

[@yanisbaker881]

she was so great that she got the highest medal from the British navy, although the shear balls of HMS warspite is terrifing

[@Tar-Numendil]

@@yanisbaker881 H.M.S. Warspite was an incredible ship as well.

[@brandonmercer499]

To quote a quote that I saw on an episode of the Clone Wars: "Who my father was matters less than my memory of him"

[@ynots38]

@43:15 this is why sci-fi used the enterprise in fiction (Star Trek)...

[@Jcornman24]

It seems like every new FE video is the new craziest story I've heard

[@Flash_Flood44]

GREAT react! TFE been pulling at our heart strings lately

[@arielrife3792]

This is an excellent video to react to

[@MrPapamaci88]

This is literally the story of be careful whom you call fat in school.

[@Xeromm]

18:28 USS Lobsterfest, you mean? 😏

[@LWolf12]

Ya, wedding stories like that are pretty common, my mom and dad have been married for 48 years here in a few weeks. He asked, she said yes, they popped over to Vegas to get married. If I remember the story correctly, a few weeks later he was off to basic in Fort Sill.

[@MrPingn]

You really feel it at the end.

[@Zrico91]

Damn. That ending made me sad. :(

[@brigidtheirish]

Outlawing gambling and alcohol, how religious wackiness gave rise to organized crime. And bear in mind that *I'm* religious. Thing is, I'm *Catholic.* We celebrate Sunday with wine and bingo. My ethnic heritage also includes Irish and German, so there you go. Oh, and my parents were married within a year of when they started dating. Or "courting," as Dad insists on calling it. Then I was born within a year of the wedding. When I pointed out that last bit to Dad, he said, "We didn't believe in wasting time." They're still together, too, despite Mom almost dying a couple times.

[@argentstorm2861]

My son was born in under a year, but after marriage. Agree with your Dad.

[@HistoryNerd808]

I wouldn't call it "religious wackiness", personally. The Temperance Movement absolutely had a Christian motivation through the social gospel(a liberal evangelical movement at the time) but I think it was more of a "the road to Hell is paved with good intentions" situation. They were trying to prevent drunkards from coming home and beating their wives and children. I think we do a disservice to history when we try to pretend that people were crazy and didn't have good reasons for things, simply because it didn't work out how they expected when we have the benefit of hindsight and they didn't.

[@brigidtheirish]

@@argentstorm2861 Oh, I was born after marriage, too. Just eleven months after the wedding and *late.* For all I know, I was conceived on their wedding night.

[@rdel714]

Everything would have turned out differently for him and his father if they met a war pug

[@TUG3284]

No train that means you don't get to send off the kriegers

[@evanulven8249]

Some people just thrive under military leadership, if not *entirely* military discipline. Were it for for World War II, Butch would have probably gone on to be a legendary statesman, and possibly even President, certainly a Senator. *Train Whistles* As a man from small town Nebraskistan, I can fall asleep to this sound.

[@generichardson4771]

checkout the show battle 360 its the history of the enterprise through ww2 ... side note enterprise rent a car founded by 1 of the pilots of the usws enterprise

[@dominicward3]

Gotta check out XMen 96 at some point. Best Disney show period. Sadly a lot of drama surrounding the firing of the creator.

[@Todorito047]

For Warhammer a channel/podcast I like is Isyander and Koda.

[@brentflora8965]

Have you watched F. E.s video of when the US Navy sunk 1/2 of the Iranian Navy in no time flat❓

[@gacrux-ni7hw]

It was his 3rd reaction video to TFE

[@davidmyhra4931]

I met my wife and asked her to marry me that night. We’ve been married 20 years.

[@oibabayaga9935]

Watch the max baer documentary. Will show you how our media was and Hollywood. Then watch the movie Cinderella man.both make him evil when infact max was probably the greatest person to box

[@vincentconnett5358]

Please react to his old 666 video it’s by far my favorite video by him plus I feel like this is the perfect opportunity

[@chrispavin1373]

I kinda like the train, sorry I'm an old dork.

[@madprophet1253]

Cat!
